So it is just your hyperbole, then. I just needed that to be clear. There is no credibility in your claim, therefore.
Maybe one day the planet will be over populated, but that day is not today nore could it happen for hundreds if not thousands of years.
As your links clearly support, the problem and solution regarding pollution are both technological.
The problem is that the human self-disipline to apply technology is limited. Pollution of the oceans is incremental, and when the net result of an increase in pollution occurs, at a level of population, then increasing population beyond the current level, is overpopulating.
The pollution of the soil is largely irreversible. it is not just technology that creates the criterea of over-population. It is the trends including all countries, of increases in pollution. There are something like 50 civil wars going on at any given time over the last 100 years. Countries at war cannot be respnsible about pollution, because winning a war requires pollution.
So it is not technology that creates or solves pollution. It is Human Greed Lust, and striving for Justice, that determines the level of pollution as increasing or decreasing.
It is Man's application of Technology that needs to be evaluated. Since today's irreversible pollution is increasing, there is therfore overpopulation.
There may be technology that could be applied for the current World popluation level, to prevent the increase in pollution of the Oceans.
but the currently available technology to prevent pollution is not easy to implement and utilize, to prevent increases in permanent ocean pollution. Overpopulation is a combination of the ease of use of technology, and the actuall application of that technology, through individual and collective processes.
I don't recall any red letter words in the Bible advocating War, but many wars are carried out in the name of Christianity. Many US Christians contribute money to fund Israeli settlements in Palestinian lands. There is not a sufficient commitment by major religions to Peace, to allow teh technolgy to be fuly utilized. But the technolgy to prevent pollution is not sufficiently easy to use today, anyway. So there is overpopulation Today. Anyone who fails to allow, or promote, voluntary family planning, is an overpopulationist.
"Water shortages, soil exhaustion, loss of forests, air and water pollution, and degradation of coastlines afflict many areas. As the world’s population grows, improving living standards without destroying the environment is a global challenge.
Most developed economies currently consume resources much faster than they can regenerate. Most developing countries with rapid population growth face the urgent need to improve living standards. As we humans exploit nature to meet present needs, are we destroying resources needed for the future?"
